Big(ish) swift flock - northern Sydney

["Tom and Mandy Wilson" <>]

Hi all
seen today over my house - Bobbin Head Road, Turramurra, northern Sydney - 
at approx 1:30pm was a biggish (200+) flock of swifts.  Mostly WTNTS but 2 
Fork-Tailed also noted.
They were quite high up (individual birds to the edge of the pack were just 
discernible to the naked eye), but as they were circling in a pretty tightly 
packed whirling group, they made a noticeable darker smudge in the sky. 
They came up from the east and headed west - presumably whatever they wee 
feeding on was being carried by the n/easterly breeze that was blowing. 
Otherwise a few clouds about but mostly fine and sunny.
Earlier this week (Monday) I had a Dollarbird go over too.
Cheers
